e two American astro-orbited on what Gen. Doolittle described as dge of a universe that is ing to unfold before us,"pioneers of aviation were ned in the Aviation Hall ne here last night.
as the eve of the 62nd an- ary of the Wright Broth- mous first powered flight. e than 550 persons gath-
n the grand ballroom of eraton-Dayton hotel for rogram, honorary chair- nd master of ceremonies eneral Doolittle.
entations were made by e military and aviation including Lt. Gen Riob- Mangrum, assistant com- ant of the United States e corps: Norman H. Paul, secretary of the United Air Force: Col John H.(USMC ret.). first Amer- to orbit the earth; and Brig. Gen. James Stewart (USAF ret.), the Oscar-winning movie actor.
Among those honored was Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker, one of two living men selected and the only honoree present to receive the award.
"The range of activities for those honored is as wide as the science of aviation," said James W. Jacobs, president of the Aviation Hall of Fame. "They include the first naval aviator, the first man to give his life in aeronautic experiments, a World War 1 ace, and a man whose principal fame has usually been thought to be the development of the telephone." 
Enshrined, in addition to Rickenbacker, were Alexander Graham Bell, for research into principles of lift, propoulsion and control and advancement of adequate scientific test facilities, and Eugene Burton Ely, for successfully demonstrating the operational use of airplanes with naval vessels.
Also Alfred A Cunningham, the first Marine corps aviator; A. Roy Knabenshue, a pioneer in balloon flight; Albert C. Read, who completed the first successful transatlantic flight and naval aviation; Thomas E. Selfridge, first man to die from an airplane accident, and Charles E. Taylor who helped the Wright brothers build the first successful airplane engine.
The presenters read biographies of the honoree as still and motion pictures of the historical events were flashed on two movie screens.
As those honored were announced large charcoal portraits of them by Milton Caniff (creator of Steve Canyon) were unveiled.
The two-day ceremonies conclude this morning with a breakfast honoring the 62nd anniversary of powered flight.
The eight honored join 12 others selected in the first three years of the Aviation Hall of Fame program.
Wittiest of the presenters was Col. Charles Kerwood, a member of the famous Lafayette Escadrille and now civil aviation advisor with the state department.
He had the audience laughing wildly as he regaled the early misadventures of A. Roy Knabenshue in balloon flight.
Knabenshue's son, Glen A Knabenshue, a 61-year old land surveyor from Los Angeles, flew for the first time in his life Wednesday in making the trip from California here.  It was also the first time he had been out of Los Angeles county since 1911.
Gen. Curtis LeMay, who was to be one of the presenters was unable to attend due to a sickness in his family.
"I have struck from the general's copy any reference to the manned bomber or the TFX," chuckled airlines executive Gerald E. Weller, who took LeMay's place.
Mrs. Joseph M. Jones, of Washington D.C., grand daughter of Alexander Graham Bell, accepted for her famous ancestor.
"I remember him very well," she said, "so I know how honored he would be that his scientific work was recognized by this distinguished group."
Col. Glenn had some fun in describing the early tribulations of the Marine corps' first aviator, Alfred Cunningham.  He said of Cunningham's first airplane, which he developed himself: "She would thunder down the field, climb this ramp only to hit the ground on the other side with a sickening thud."
Gen. Doolittle introduced Jimmy Stewart, who flew 20 combat missions in World War II.
He doesn't know this," Doolittle said, "but he would have been made a group commander if the war had lasted another month.  This I know, because I was his commander."
"Thank you...sir," said Stewart.
Stewart described Captain Rickenbacker's exploits and concluded with: "His name is legend."
The famous World War I air ace, who learned he was to be honored only hours before, was ready for the occasion and took over the microphone with a col-

[[?]]sse Haines To Retire As Auditor; [[?]]eputy Oswald To Run For Post
By Walter Gray
Journal Herald Staff Writer
[[?]]nty Auditor Jesse Haines, [[?]] winner in major league baseball and Republican politics, will announce his retirement this morning after 27 years in office.
The 72-year-old former pitcher for the St. Louis Cardinals has scheduled a news conference for 10 a.m. to make the announce-ment.
It was not clear yesterday if Haines plans to retire before his seventh consecutive four-year term expire in Dec. 1966.
Haines declined to discuss his retirement plans until the news conference.
The Journal Herald also learned yesterday that A. L. Oswald, chief deputy county auditor for 27 years, will run for county auditor next year.
Oswald, 68, has the backing of the local Republican organiza-tion. This will be his first try for political office.
Oswald, the most influential person in county fiscal affairs, was appointed chief deputy shortly after Haines won his first election in 1938.
He was assistant credit man-ager of the Dayton Rubber com-pany before becoming Haines' top aide. Haines has delegated much of his authority to Oswald.
Oswald, of 1947 Philadelphia driver, is the father of two adult sons.

Chimes" To Be Silent [[?]]t School Here Today
[[?]]e chimes won't ring at [[?]]p Mill school today. A par-[[?]] questioned religious con-[[?]]ions of the play, "Why the [[?]]es Rang," and school au-[[?]]ties have canceled the [[?]]entation.
[[?]]he line questioned con-[[?]]ed bringing gifts to the [[?]]st child," Asst. Supt. H. L. [[?]] said last night.
[[?]]referred the inquiry to the [[?]]ol, and they were going to [[?]] if they could change the [[?]] some way."
[[?]]orothy Reinicke, Shoup Mill [[?]]cipal, said:"We talked [[?]]t it, but rather than caus-[[?]] any trouble, we decided to drop the presentation. We are just going to have poems and songs by primary children now."
Miss Reinicke said she had thought of "Why the Chimes Rang" as a story of sharing, in which a little boy's contribu-tion makes the chimes ring.
"That was the reason we se-lected that play," the principal explained.
"We didn't want to put any children in an embarrassing position though, so we decided to change that part of our pro-gram.
"You never know if you are doing the right thing. We still don't know."

[[?]]ia Snips Off Her Long Locks [[?]]nd "Peyton Place" Is Buzzing
HOLLYWOOD —— (UPI) —— [[?]]a Farrow, 20-year-old girl [[?]] end of crooner Frank Si-[[?]]tra, snipped off her waist-[[?]]g blonde hair by herself, [[?]]ch to the astonishment of [[?]]r producers and preoipi-[[?]]ting a spate of rumors.

But last Friday, she went to her dressing room and [[?]]eared them off as short as [[?]]ssible. Producer Phil Mon-[[?]]h was aghast.
It necessitated writing into [[?]]e script a change in the ap-[[?]]earance of the character Alli-[[?]]n MacKenzie she plays. Said [[?]]onash, "I don't think there [[?]] anything in the story that [[?]]e cut it off in anger for not [[?]]

"She did it on an impulse, for reasons I can't fathom. It was an unprofessional act. And what she did could have had an adverse affect on the entire cast and show.
"But then she's a girl. She's young."
Last summer, Miss Farrow's impetuosity encouraged her to accompany Sinatra on a yacht trip off the coast of Cape Cod which led to speculation of a Sinatra-Farrow marriage.
Miss Farrow's "vacation" on the yacht forced Monash and the series to place her character in a coma until Mia returned.
No sooner had Allison Mac-Kenzie "recovered" from auto accident injuries, than she popped up with a haircut somewhat shorter than Ringo Starr's.
It makes for a lively series, but for a very nervous pro-

[[?]] But a question then arose on whether to call troubled Gemini 7 home a day early.
The dual mission's three flight directors pondered a power problem aboard Gemini 7 into the night and announced that "indications are that the flight will continue as sched-uled."
Nevertheless, the tired pilots of Gemini 7 Air Force Lt. Col. Frank Borman and Navy Comdr. James A. Lovell Jr., 12 days and 4 1/2 million miles deep into their 14-day voyage, got as-surance they would be brought down this morning if things got worse.
One of the tiny spacecrafts power-producing fuel cells had to be completely turned off after trouble developed. But Gemini 7 can derive enough power from the remaining cell to complete the mission, one of-ficial said.
Keep Eys On Lights
"Fuel cell No. 1 continues to perform in an excellent condi-tion," mission control an-nounced. "We are going to con-tinue to monitor its perform-ance throughout this night, but all indications are that the flight will continue as sched-uled."
Borman and Lovell kept wary eyes on two tiny warning lights on their control panel. One light went out when one cell was switched off; the other for [[?]] second cell kept shining.
[[?]] trouble in the spacecraft's two electricity-producing fuel cells. They have been coming on and off periodically throughout the flight, but the astronauts showed growing concern over the problem during the after-noon.
And, should be the decision be made to end the flight after 191 orbits of the Earth, Borman and Lovell would head through the atmosphere for a landing at 8:59 a.m. in the same Atlan-tic ocean area Gemini 6 so ac-curately pinpointed.
"It Was Ideal"
After 16 trips around the world, Schirra, a Navy captain, and Stafford, an Air Force ma-jor, parachuted into the sun-flicked Atlantic ocean just 15 miles from the recovery carrier USS Wasp, right on time at 10:29 a.m.
"It was ideal," Schirra de-clared of the historic mission. "We had no problem whatso-ever."
While the worldwide space-craft tracking network busied itself with Gemini 6's re-entry and recovery, the Gemini 7 pilots spent much of their time

Hall In Hospital; His 4th Surgery
Mayor-elect Dave Hall entered Miami Valley hospital yesterday afternoon and will undergo sur-gery Monday.
The operation will be his fourth since June.
Hall said yesterday it will be [[?]] left by previous surgery —— which doctors earlier thought would heal naturally.
He described the operation as "nothing to get excited about" and said "I'll be there" at city hall Jan. 3 to be sworn in as Dayton's mayor."
City officials said Hall will be given the oath of office in his room if he is still hospitalized at that time.
Hall said Monday's operation will be the last corrective one needed as a result of an appen-dectomy June 24.
he was operated on again July 8 and Aug. 14 for complica-tions arising from the earlier surgery. He was absent from city commission meeting be-tween June 23 and Sept. 29.

Executive Held Wright Sta[[?]]
By Mary Ellen Wolfe
Journal Herald Staff Writer

An academic administrator is the No. 1 need at Wright State campus and a permanent library is the next building need, the newly appointed Wright State advisory committee was told at its organizational meeting.

These other problems also were outlined yesterday as six of the nine men appointed by Gov. James A. Rhodes met with novice Fawcett and Philip Shriver, presidents of the parent Ohio State and Miami universities:

-Mass transportation is a "pressing problem" today and shows all indications of becoming worse, with 184 acres of the 618-acre campus set aside for parking and streets on the master plan:
(...?) priations are encumbered and application will be made "in the near future" for more than $1 million in federal assistance with campus construction:

-Student dormitories are essential "if Wright State is to achieve any type of greatness." Yet the state master plan for higher education assigns Wright State the role of a commuter campus.

-Three buildings now in use or under construction and one on the drawing boards should be adequate for 10,000- 12,000 students. Present enrollment is 5,100- 2,400 daytime, 600 late afternoon, and 2,100 evening.

SHRIVER AND Fawcett agreed the campus jointly operated by Miami and Ohio State universities needs a (...?)background more than anything else at this time.

Shriver described the administrator sought as someone who would "be able to represent the institution academically who would affect a bridge between the two institutions and enable a centralization of responsibility for the two institutions."

Fawcett said there is a problem of interim academic leadership until the campus gains independence in 1967 and then the need for a university president.

"We have grown up with this child to the point where we need permanent academic leadership," Fawcett declared.

On motion of James M. Cox
